Fountain View Village Senior Living by Cogir sits in a quiet spot with nice mountain views and landscaped paths, close to the Mayo Clinic and that World's Famous Fountain, with room types like studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments, and even options with private balconies or terraces looking out at the scenery, all having space, good light, their own climate controls, and kitchens with appliances, plus a 24-hour emergency response system with extra security for those who need it. The place offers all sorts of care, ranging from independent living and active adult choices to assisted living, memory care in a secure building, long-term skilled nursing, home health care, hospice, and respite care, and the team includes nurses on staff, a medical director, and doctors and therapists who are available for regular visits or call-ins if something comes up. Folks can stay as their needs get stronger over time, and the caregivers help with bathing, grooming, dressing, medication, walking, and supervision, even including memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, plus there's monitoring for wandering, behavior support, injections, and a safe set-up if someone needs more help.
The community's known for a warm, welcoming feel with kind staff and lots of health features, like daily medication reminders, nurses on-site part-time and around the clock, and plenty of therapy choices-physical, speech, or occupational. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services come standard, and there's personal care for cleaning or extra needs, along with podiatry, dental, and other health visits. Activities run every day for those who want them, from stretching, yoga, and water aerobics to pet-focused events, art classes, literary groups, cooking in the Bistro, and intergenerational programs, plus there's the Brain Health University™ to encourage mental activities and the Wellness Everyday™ program for all-around well-being-spiritual, emotional, social, and intellectual, too.
Meals come from the Dining For Wellness™ program, and they serve fresh recipes in a big communal space or in-room, for people needing special diets or just looking for a guest meal, with room service as an option. The place has plenty to do inside and out, like a heated pool and hot tub, walking paths, game room, country store, Southwestern-themed pub, computer room, and a library filled with books and magazines, and there's Wi-Fi plus cable for those who want it. Religious and devotional services pop up regularly, both on-site and elsewhere, and everyone can count on private or shared trips with resident vans and buses for outings and appointments.
Pet lovers can bring their cat or dog, with help for care, and the whole property is wheelchair accessible with safety features like medication dispensers, medical alert systems, and emergency-call tech. Parking comes with options for residents and guests, and transportation rides can go to shopping or medical visits. For those who like quiet time or a chat with friends, outdoor gardens and indoor lounges give space, and there's a focus on social activities, resident-run events, music, movie nights, and even supervised companion care.
Prices usually run from about $5,867 to $7,700, depending on the care and room. The site's gone through big upgrades and is still finishing a new renovation set to be done by late 2022. There's a no-smoking rule inside, and the community serves both men and women who meet the age rules. People like the staff, with reviews often saying kindness stands out, and the place keeps a community score of 9.8. With VA Aid Assistance and help in applying for benefits, plus lots of handy senior resources like technology advice, hearing aid info, and accessible plans for phones and internet, Fountain View Village offers choices to fit all stages of later life, tries to make daily living less stressful, and gives support so residents can focus on living as independently and happily as possible.
